Hello all,

Several local cyclists have recently reported having items stolen from their bikes when parked downtown.

The items taken include bells and lights.

Locations include Fourth and Washington, The Library, and in Front of the Ann Arbor School of Yoga (across from the Y on Washington Street).

Here’s what people have reported so far:

Just an FYI. I was parked at the bike racks in the Washington Street parking structure on Sunday (across from Arbor Brewing Company) for a few hours and somebody stole my headlight, tail light, and bell.

FYI, I also had some thievery happen last night (Tues, Aug 19). I parked my bike outside the Downtown Ann Arbor Library last night between 7-8 pm. When I came out, someone had stolen my Cat Eye headlight along with the plastic rack for my handlebar bag, its weird as I had other things on my bike that were more valuable?! I talked to the police and the library, it was on one of the library cameras….hopefully find out more today.

I too had lights stolen. Saturday evening (Aug 17), in front of the A2 School of Yoga (Huron St across from the YMCA). Two headlights and a bell were stolen from my and my wife’s bikes.

I’ve locked bikes up in A2 for 15+ years, in shadier locations and later at night and have never had anything stolen. There certainly seems to be a bike thief loose in A2.
